ENVIRONMENTAL OVERVIEW sections identify the key and applicable environmental impact categories as described in FAA Order 1050.1F for the Implementation Plan for Eugene Airport and the surrounding area. This includes: » Air Quality » Biological Resources » Climate » Department of Transportation Section 4(f) » Farmland » Hazardous Materials, Pollution Prevention, and Solid Waste » Historical, Architectural, Archaeological, and Cultural Resources » Land Use » Natural Resources and Energy Supply » Noise and Noise-Compatible Land Use » Safety Risks » Visual Effects » Water Resources (includes Wetlands, Floodplains, Surface Waters, and Groundwater,) Coastal resources and Wild and Scenic Rivers are not included in this discussion because, as Chapter 1, Inventory of Existing Conditions describes and Section 7.2, Existing Environmental Conditions summarizes, those resources are not within or near the Airport property and would not be affected by the Implementation Plan projects. The information provided in the following sections should be used where appropriate when NEPA documentation is required. Prior to starting NEPA documentation for a Implementation Plan project at the Airport, the City or its contractor should coordinate with the FAA Seattle Airports District Office (ADO) Environmental Specialist to officially determine the appropriate level NEPA documentation (e.g., CATEX, EA, EIS). It is recommended that projects connected in function, place, and/or time be evaluated in the same NEPA documentation in an effort to save time and money. Connected actions (projects that do not have independent utility from another project) must be considered in the same NEPA document to avoid segmentation. Short-Term CIP Projects Short-term CIP projects include the projects planned between 2018 and 2022 (see Chapter 5, Implementation and Financing Plan). The suggested NEPA documentation for those projects and/or grouping of projects is provided below, along with a preliminary analysis of the potential environmental effects associated with those projects. The stormwater master plan and advanced terminal planning study would not require NEPA documentation as those projects do not involve implementation of federally- funded projects or projects that can change thirport Layout Plan (ALP). The outcome of those plans/studies may include measures that would require NEPA documentation prior to implementation; however, those measures are not known at this time.
